Arvind Kejriwal Wants To Join Enforcement Directorate Probe, But…: Atishi

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal wants to join the investigations of the Enforcement Directorate and cooperate with the agency but has appealed to the high court that coercive action not be taken against him, Delhi minister Atishi said today.

Atishi said that Arvind Kejriwal has approached the Delhi High Court, alleging that the ED wanted to arrest him.

“Delhi CM Kejriwal wants to join the ED investigation and cooperate with the agency. But, we believe that the ED is not an independent agency. It does not want to conduct investigation. It is a political tool of the BJP,” Atishi claimed.

“The ED wants to arrest Arvind Kejriwal by summoning him. If the intentions of the ED are clear, the agency should say in the court that Arvind Kejriwal will not be arrested by it,” she said.

The probe agency’s aim is to arrest Arvind Kejriwal and stop him from campaigning for Lok Sabha polls, the Delhi minister alleged.

Arvind Kejriwal has so far skipped multiple summonses regarding a money laundering probe linked to an alleged excise policy scam.
